I believe a load of Polish masters have been working and teaching in China recently - the quality and finish of the glass is improving all the time.I was impressed with these - you can look very deeply into them, and I really liked the aventurine sparkles inside - very peacock-y.I resisted - I don't do pwts.

I don't get to too many places - sometimes all I can get to see is what's coming out in charity shops and TKMaxx!

Three Wise Women would have asked for directions, arrived on time, delivered the baby, cleaned the stables and made a casserole...

I don't usually do paperweights either. Unless it's fully marked and cheap. Apart from that I don't understand what makes a good one. In this case I just liked the look of it. And for a couple of quid it's enough.

Interesting to know Polish maestros have been over to China to teach.

I like the idea of learning about buying glass on the grounds of quality rather than labels. I'm very much a novice but love the challenge.
